As many of you may know, Adobe released Photoshop CS6 today.  The burning question in a lot of peoples’ minds, including my own, has been whether or not Adobe Photoshop CS6 is worth the $199 upgrade.  If you’re using an earlier version of photoshop than CS5, the decision to upgrade now is a potentially costly […]

Just wanted to share these quick photos of Laura & Bill’s gorgeous 12×12 Finao One album.  This is Finao’s top of the line flushment wedding album, showing here with the ludicrous cover option–which IMHO, is about as exotic as wedding album materials come.  This mysterious leather is imported from Italy and is quite the tactile […]

I can’t help but turn things into a fashion shoot when the opportunity arises. So while this started out as a headshot session, it quickly evolved into a lifestyle/editorial/fashion shoot because, well, why the heck not.    Never one to stick the rules, I wanted as much personality and diversity in these photos as possible. […]

This is somewhat of an emotional post for me, as Erik’s father Gene recently passed away due to cancer and is no longer with us.  I feel honored that I was able to photograph both his son and daughter’s weddings this past year, and to be part of these great celebrations.  In the brief time I’ve […]

It was truly a pleasure to get to photograph this young couple in love.  While theirs was a small, intimate affair–an elopement from the cold winter air of Michigan–there was nothing small about the emotions between these two individuals in love.  Sara had one of the prettiest and most meaningful bouquets i’ve ever seen; she […]

I belong to a super top secret Anatolian Shepherd group on Facebook.  You have to be LEGIT to get invited to the group, and the initiation involves several tests of courage, feats of strength and surviving an anatolian puppy stampede.  Ok, maybe just the latter, and driving for nearly 20 hours through pea soup fog […]

So, when Emmy stopped by the studio for her big debut, Razi couldn’t help but admire this pretty giant–and proceeded to give her his patented puppy kisses.

Emmy stopped by the studio the other day for some glamour shots for her modeling portfolio, and I was happy to oblige.  Emmy is the coolest Great Dane i’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and just so, so well behaved.  She put up with a lot as her owner Matt slid her around into […]
